Initial analysis

The eight-story residential building at 454 W Belmont in Chicago's Lake View neighborhood, owned by John G Crowley, is an 80-unit structure completed in 2019 that has experienced several notable issues over its relatively short history. Most concerning are four unresolved periodic routine inspection violations recorded in February 2021, representing the building's only open violations in the past seven years. The property has also generated 18 service requests through the 311 system since 2018, with the most recent concerns in 2026 including an e-scooter parking complaint and an open water lead test kit request. Several street lighting issues have been reported and resolved, though a sign repair request from October 2025 remains open.

Risk rating

How 454 W Belmont Chicago's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
